I'm a big World War II buff, and in addition to all of the books I own about the battles, campaigns, weaponry, and general histories of the war, I also own many biographies and autobiographies of people, both famous and unknown, from the era. However, one thing I lacked was a good biography of Stalin. I have a few, but they were written before the Iron Curtain had fallen, and primarily used "western" rather than Soviet sources.

In her now classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon told the story of Claire Randall, an English ex-combat nurse who walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands in 1946, and disappears . . . into 1743. The story unfolded from there in seven bestselling novels, and CNN has called it “a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries].” Now the story continues in Written in My Own Heart’s Blood.
In this highly engaging book, Antony Easthope examines 'Englishness' as a form and a series of shared discourses. Discussing the subject of 'nation' - a growing area in literary and cultural studies - Easthope offers polemical arguments written in a lively and accessible style.
Tom Butler looses his job as a CIA analyst and pursues the answers anyway. These answers almost get him killed multiple times. The president is a good guy and tries to come up with answers that Tom already has but can't seem to get together with Tom. This book is one of the best written and most exciting books I have ever read. As I said this book is heart stopping and becomes so unbelievably suspenseful with twists that are just so smooth you don't see them coming but you just slide along with them. I would recommend reading this book just to read one of the most well written books you will ever hope to read. Mr. Murray McDonald, I thank you for a superb read.
